Weather Story Time – Everybody

Opening song

Book: Bruce’s Big Storm by Ryan T. Higgens

Song: “Raindrops Are Falling” (Tune: “London Bridge”)
Little raindrops are falling down,      (wiggle fingers and move them down like rain)
Falling down, falling down.
Little raindrops are falling down,
Falling to the ground.                     (tap fingers on the ground)

Bigger raindrops are falling down,
Falling down, falling down.
Bigger raindrops are falling down,
Falling to the ground.                     (tap hands on the ground)

Other Verses:
Giant raindrops…    (stamp feet on the ground)
Fast raindrops…     (wiggle fingers and sing quickly)
Slow raindrops…    (wiggle fingers and sing slowly)
Teeny Tiny raindrops…    (use fingers only for rain and sing in a high pitched voice)

Song: “If It’s Raining Outside, Wear Your Boots” (Tune: “If You’re Happy and You Know It”)
If it’s raining outside, wear your boots.
If it’s raining outside, wear your boots.
If it’s raining outside, then your boots will keep you dry!
If it’s raining outside, wear your boots.

Additional verses:
If it’s snowing outside, wear your coat…
If it’s sunny outside, wear your hat…

Song with guitar chords: “Keep On the Sunny Side”

D                            G                           D
There’s a dark and a troubled side of life

D                                                                  A   A7
There’s a bright, there’s a sunny side, too

            A                                                    D
Tho’ we meet with the darkness and strife

         A7                                    D
The sunny side we also may view

[Chorus]
D                               G                                          D
Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side

D                                              A    A7
Keep on the sunny side of life

              D             D7                  G                        D
It will help us every day, it will brighten all the way

D                  G       D      A7        D
If we’ll keep on the sunny side of life

[Verse 2]
D                    G               D
The storm and its fury broke today

D                                         A     A7
Crushing hopes that we cherish so dear

                  A                            D
Clouds and storms will, in time, pass away

           A7                                 D
The sun again will shine bright and clear

[Chorus]

D                               G                                          D
Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side

D                                              A    A7
Keep on the sunny side of life

              D             D7                  G                        D
It will help us every day, it will brighten all the way

D                  G       D      A7        D
If we’ll keep on the sunny side of life
